Still no working crack for plex...
https://nightlies.plex.tv/public-test/plexmediaplayer/public-testing/latest/
>>53943177
I tried sym-linking my mpv.conf to plex's folder and it seemed to work, but I don't like how it just straight up uses a different set of options than mpv.
I want a fancy media player front end that just hooks into mpv and loads all rendering options from mpv.conf
We can use plex-media-player with Openelec!!!
https://github.com/plexinc/plex-media-player/releases/tag/v1.0.6.229-1ce41570
So we can use mpv with Kodi?
Hey this works great just as default for me, so I haven't tampered with it at all. However, I like having the screenshot filename to have said videofile listed in its name
I'm not putting this well, but basically all other video players do this and I don't like just having shot003 and would rather have a filename with the video's filename and the time the shot was taken. I attached this as an example
Is there any way to make the forced subtitles style only effect the default Dialog subs?
LIke when my chinktoons sub some signs or shit in a way that its supposed to mesh with the video, i'd like my forced style to leaved them alone, but fix up the regular dialog.
There's something about having subs that keep within a 4:3 box that make them easier to read while being able to focus on the video.
So we need to buy an expensive plex pass to use mpv based player in openelec?
https://github.com/plexinc/plex-media-player/blob/900c7903df7a25a33d129e591ef931c608fb6102/release-notes/1.0.6.txt
>>53943208
You could always use mpv as an external player with Kodi, heck, you can even use mpv as an external player with Popcorn Time
Real Kodi integration, like DSPlayer Kodi, it's what everyone wants but that's not an easy task, I don't know how is Plex Media Player, but I wouldn't expect to have integrated mpv as much as DSPlayer Kodi

I'm both a noob to linux and to mpv
I checked in the config folder and ther was no .conf file, so I just made one and put in what I assume would give me the results you both were discussing along with a new folder for screenshots instead of dumping them in my home directory
The .conf file is /home/user/.config/mov/mpv.conf
The contents are:--screenshot-template=%f-%p
--screenshot-directory= /home/user/Pictures/Screenshots
However, it still saves as shotxxxx.jpg and dumps them in the home directory. I feel I'm doing something very simple wrong. Thought of taking this to /sqt/, but this seemed more appropriate

Is there a way to have the following behavior?
When I open mpv without directing it to a file, it resumes the last file watched (if accessible).
Tell mpv to play an entire folder and when I again watch that entire folder not only remember the position within the file last played but also within the folder (i.e. what was the last episode I watched?)

The combination mpc-hc + madvr is much more efficient in gpu usage for same configuration:

mad: chroma=jinc (34% usage)
mpv: prescale-luma=superxbr (100% usage)
mad: doubling superxbr75 (88% usage)
Madshi made an insane job in performance.

MPV includes mplayer and mplayer2 history going back 16 years when it only came about 4 years ago max.
Most MPV commits are split up the the extreme often being single word or line changes, which is good from an SCM sense but not one for basing number of commits on actual activity.
MPV == MVP
>>53966166
mpv in the last year alone has over 2000 commits. Most of those were nontrivial changes.
>>53966166
>Most MPV commits are split up the the extreme often being single word or line changes, which is good from an SCM sense but not one for basing number of commits on actual activity.
Which is evidence that mpv has high code quality because changes are more thought out.
t. i use git myself and don't commit until everything works, which makes commits bigger than what they should be
>>53966184
I follow it closely, most of the commits very much are trivial in amount of change they include. Number of commits is a worthless measure only someone retarded would take seriously. Generate stats to show actual code changes and files stats.
>>53966217
>Which is evidence that mpv has high code quality because changes are more thought out.
Many commits are fixes for previous commits causing breakage, being modular in git commits does not mean it's evidence of high code quality any more than having legs makes you an Olympic medallist runner.
>i use git myself and don't commit until everything works, which makes commits bigger than what they should be
This conflicts with your first sentence... is mpv high code quality or mostly small not so good that needs to be fixed later rather than making the commit work first and then pushing something bigger and less frequent?
>>53966263
What I said about mpv does not conflict at all. Many small ones is always better than few large ones, because it means the developer has to think ahead and plan a lot more about what needs to change in the codebase to support some features.
That said, I was referring to MY OWN CODE ony MY OWN PROJECTS as an EXAMPLE wrt "I don't commit until it works but really I should plan more instead of being lazy like the mpc devs" oh very enlightened one.
>>53966263
>Generate stats to show actual code changes and files stats.
No, that's way worse. Line count is well known to be a total bullshit measure of productivity in software development because it rewards complexity. If you take the time to think of a simple and elegant solution to a problem, you commit less changes. At least if you measure commits, a simple solution to a problem and a complex solution to a problem will both only cost one commit.
>>53966263
>Number of commits is a worthless measure only someone retarded would take seriously.
What metric would you choose instead? Number of changed lines? Because that's equally retarded.
>>53966364
>it rewards complexity.
It also rewards formatting changes, “trivial” changes like moving a big chunk of code to a different file, updates to automatically generated code, and so forth.
I see no difference between not touching the config file and adding the "low preset" in OP. Am I disabled?
>>53966384
Only thing it adds is debanding, which probably won't work either way since it also sets hwdec=auto. (You can either have hwdec or debanding, not both)
>>53966384
low preset is almost the same as no config
>>53966391
>You can either have hwdec or debanding, not both
wrong, they are compatible
>>53966409
Well, only to a limited degree. Real debanding requires operating directly on the source planes, which is impossible with hwdec except under very specific circumstances.
>>53966391
>You can either have hwdec or debanding, not both
Depending on the hwdec. For DXVA2, Video Toolbox and VA-API/EGL, you can absolutely have hwdec and debanding.
>>53966447
>DXVA2
Only in copyback mode.
>Video Toolbox and VA-API/EGL
Hence “very specific circumstances”
>>53966453
Not that specific, only on all Windows, OS X and Linux/Intel platforms.
>>53966453
Windows won again as usual.
>>53966534
>all Windows
Not with DXVA2 interop or ANGLE
>Linux/Intel
Not with backend=x11
In general, less than half the available hardware decoding options support native planes.
>>53966575
>Not with DXVA2 interop or ANGLE
These aren't the defaults, so using the config in the OP will still result in working debanding.
>Not with backend=x11
But backend=x11egl is default on Intel (and why would you change it?)
So, the only platforms :deband and hwdec=auto don't work on seem to be Linux/Nvidia (and Linux/AMD?) Considering that, it seems a bit disingenuous to say "you can either have hwdec or debanding" without adding "on Linux/Nvidia."
>>53966642
Most people are on Nvidia or AMD cards, though.

Is there anyway to see if a .glsl file is loaded properly? New to MPV and I have no clue if it's actually loading the file or not.
Also, is the path for FineSharp I'm using below even correct? Currently using Windows 10 and made a "portable_config" folder to make it easier.

Well, my biggest question is how games are supported. I know it's growing but I'm unsure how well games are running on Linux.

This could just be a ruse and if so, which distro should I use?
>>53943151
I'm having problems when skipping ahead.After a few jumps it just freezes and wont allow me to go back or foreward.Ending the video and reopening it works fine.
Always wanted to ask this. I don't really understand how the opengl part of mpv and madvr with mpc-hc works; however, does mpv increases the picture quality besides upscaling? How is it compared to madvr?
Thank you in advance.

DirectX 9 games work fine through WINE.
Many games run natively on Linux. (See Steam's collection to get a good overview)
For DirectX 11 games you'll have to resort to using a VM (if you have a dedicated GPU that you can spare for it) or dual booting.
Personally, I dual boot for gaming - even for Linux games. (I dual boot from my normal work distro into an Ubuntu/Steam gaming partition)
>>53968252
What you want to look into is KVM virtual machines with GPU pass through, 95%+ performance, only real issue is that you can't use your GPU in linux if it's passed through to a Windows VM.
I'm gonna switch over to that when I finally upgrade my I7920 to some processor with integrated graphics.

madvr has a few more features than MPV, but code quality isn't known since it's not open source, also I think having a video player as a daisy chain of mpchc madvr xysubfilter, and reclock is overly convoluted.
MPV is being built as a dumb player that just plays shit according to your conf settings, libmpv is a backend that other players can incorporate.
What I'm waiting for is a a fancy Kodi style setup that uses libmpv and doesn't have its own settings like the Plex player does. Just a front-end that shows coverart in a nice browser with rice controls while still giving me access to the key bindings in input.conf
Can someone tell me if this is better than mpc, and if so how?
I'm working on adding a playlist editor now.

It doesn't require proprietary software to have jinc.
>>53968525
>It doesn't require proprietary software
That's not a feature or a functionality improvement over vlc or mpc.
>>53968476
mpc is a minimalist command line interface to MPD. It requires the MPD server to run in the background, and even then it can only play audio files. mpv is a standalone player that can play video files as well.
mpv is clearly superior.
>>53968547
Read the whole sentence.
>>53968556
So basically it cuts out a middle man (so to speak) that mpc uses?
Does that result in any performance improvements or anything?
I'll probably switch now after you explained that but I still want to know if there's any noticeable difference.
>>53968604
And it actually plays video files. Also, mpc doesn't play audio itself, it only controls the audio playback.
All in all, it's pretty shit compared to mpv.
>>53968562
>Read the whole sentence.
Okay...
>It doesn't require proprietary software to have jinc.
That's not a feature or a functionality improvement over vlc or mpc.
>>53968636
neither vlc nor mpc have jinc so it's a functionality improvement
>>53968636
It's a practical advantage. VLC has no jinc at all, MPC requires MADVR for that.
Also, MPV has the best color reproduction of those.
>>53968669
Can you explain what jinc is and why it's bad?
>>53968690
>and why it's bad
It eats your RAM, so you have to periodically download more if you use it.
>>53968556
Sorry but anybody who uses mpv to play music instead of MPD is clearly retarded.
MPD is based on a clearly superior daemon/client model which is perfect for background audio playback. It interfaces with many clients. It supports features like searching, file browsing or playlist saving/editing.
MPD has tons of plugins/clients providing support for stuff like autoqueueing music or tracking your listening preferences.
>>53968359
>>53968368
Sounds good, I will look into it. What I miss the most in Windows (especially after using the CMD for MPV) is the terminal and Bash. I've only used it in a Mac though.
Which distro is the best if you want a nice-looking UI that is customizable? Ubuntu?
>>53968690
Jinc is a cylindrical (EWA) filter using a modified sinc function. It's similar to Lanczos/sinc, but operates cylindrically and therefore the ringing patterns are circles, instead of being in the shape of a plus sign, which people tent to accept more. You can read more about EWA filters in ImageMagick's docs.
>why it's bad?
It's not bad, it's good.
>>53968736
Xubuntu is good, apparently next release of mainline Ubuntu won't be shit.
>>53968604
basically same performance, better quality, + various ways to improve the quality.
>>53968736
>Which distro is the best if you want a nice-looking UI that is customizable? Ubuntu?
For newcomers who don't know how to into computers I just install Ubuntu.
It's a piece of shit, but at least it's a friendly piece of shit where most things will work out of the box (except for what the GNOME developers deem unnecessary for your end user experience, like thumbnails and the ability to disable mouse acceleration).
If you're more serious about it, there are other alternatives that are still newcomer-friendly; like openSuSE, Fedora, Debian or Mint (although only idiots use Mint, most Windows users feel right at home in it since it's designed to be a toy).
If your power level is high enough you could also consider something like Gentoo, NixOS or Arch, which are designed for people who know what they want.
>>53968747
>Jinc is a cylindrical (EWA) filter using a modified sinc function.
To be specific, the Jinc function is just the polar equivalent of the Sinc function.
sinc is to lanczos (sinc-mirrored sinc) what jinc is to ewa_lanczos (jinc-mirrored jinc)
>>53968778
Dude if he's asking about Ubuntu why would you even recommend anything more advanced than Debian?
He should pick between Ubuntu, mint, Fedora, or something else close to those distros.
>>53968525
A tiny menu like that, a menu to toggle shaders/debanding/hwdec, and some easier way to see what files in a folder have been watched or in progress is all the GUI i'd ever want MPV to have.
Just because I'll fall asleep in the middle of a show and forget what episode I was on later.
>>53968793
s/mirrored/windowed/g
>>53968636
If you run different operating systems it's nice to have a player that works the same on both windows and Linux.
>>53968804
>a menu to toggle shaders/debanding/hwdec
Whatever can be switched without restarting, I can add there. Possibly also things requiring restarts.
>easier way to see what files in a folder have been watched or in progress is all the GUI i'd ever want MPV to have.
I'm working on a playlist window.
>>53968804
>and some easier way to see what files in a folder have been watched or in progress is all the GUI i'd ever want MPV to have.
Make a keybinding likeF9 show_text ${playlist}.
I also recommendF10 show_text ${chapter-list}andF11 show_text ${track-list}.
>>53968793
>sinc is to lanczos (sinc-mirrored sinc) what jinc is to ewa_lanczos (jinc-mirrored jinc)
There's also a sinc option, which is sinc windowed with rect.
>>53968867
There's also a ‘jinc’ potion, which is jinc windowed with rect.
>>53968879
Ah, yes.
>>53968840
>Whatever can be switched without restarting, I can add there.
is this really possible to toggle shaders/deband?
>>53943205
Check out mpv-remote
It's an htm front end that you can use from your phone to talk to your mpv.
It uses Python's simple HTTP server and some times it doesn't respond to a command but other than that it's great.
I actually want to steal the way it talks to mpv and do some kind of GUI I can control with my wireless controller from afar.
>>53968914
You can add video and audio filters on demand, but I don't know if you can change vo options. If so, I can do it. If not, I'd have to make the script kill mpv and restart with different options.
>>53968931
Can I get a link? Google's not showing me anything and its not on github
>>53968947
You can change the vo options withvo_cmdline, but this requires passing the entire vo line.
>>53968931
It's easy to talk to MPV, you just have to exchange JSONs via UNIX socket. Read the JSON IPC part of the manual (https://mpv.io/manual/master/#json-ipc)
>>53968987
Great, then I'll add this.
>>53968975
https://github.com/siikamiika/mpv-remote
>>53969006
mpv-remote sends commands via a console or something, haven't checked exactly how it works.
It's fine because I use it both in Windows and Linux. I guess those UNIX sockets don't work on Windows?
>>53969214
>I guess those UNIX sockets don't work on Windows?
No. the other way to do this is to use libmpv, meaning you make mpv part of your application.
>>53943177
why is that good
Why people say that nnedi3 performance is bad in mpv? It is almost the same for me on nVidia gpu, 34% with madvr and 39% with mpv @ 979 MHz. Probably just Intel/AMD compilers can't into loop unrolling. Some one who has one of those and use windows try nnedi3 with backend=angle pls, for science.
>>53969214
>I guess those UNIX sockets don't work on Windows?
They do as of https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/5bf473d5c
>>53969458
>Why people say that nnedi3 performance is bad in mpv?
Because mpv's implementation is per-pixel instead of processing entire unrolled 8-value lines in parallel. The slowdown is an order of magnitude.
>It is almost the same for me on nVidia gpu
Then you aren't testing correctly
>>53970127
it can't be incorrectvo=opengl-hq:fbo-format=rgba16f:prescale-luma=nnedi3:backend=dxinterop
hwdec=no
with backend=angle it is 2% less
>>53970216
Run with -v and upload a full log.
Is there a way to make mpv just pause at the end of a video instead of closing?

Xubuntu looks nice. How is Kubuntu compared to the ones you have mentioned? I kinda want something easy to start with that is customizable.
>>53970351
The difference between Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu etc. is pretty much just which DE you decide to install on it.
It takes 3 seconds to typesudo apt-get install xfceor whatever and get Xfce on any distro.

You could probably make the mpv window really small and always-on-top, then use your own custom OSC layout to make it usable at that size.
>>53970558
Why the fuck would you want such an ugly piece of shit instead of just fucking control your media player with fucking global keyboard shortcuts? Do you like wasting time, being inefficient and putting unnecessary buttons at places?
>>53966365
Not him but what about milestones with clear requirements?
>>53970558
On linux people often makes media control widgets for different desktop environments for any player that implements MPRIS. What a lot of DE implements by default though is integration inside of the sound menu like unity, plasma or cinnamon.
>>53968720
some people just want to right click a folder and play the music, no need for libraries, hosting across servers, yadayadayada, "tracking your listening preferences"
>you seriously dont know your own preferences?
>>53974665
what do you know, plasma works with smplayer (and probably mpv as well) and loads on demand
Why does one use mplayer instead of mpv?
>>53976849
Nobody except a retard would use mplayer over mpv.
>>53976862
But it seems some people in /g/ use it, and I have also read somewhere that it is the most used linux player. I tried mplayer myslef and I'm having trouble figuring out why they use it.
>>53976933
The only reason some people use it is because they don't want to change to mpv because they think mpv is too hard to use. Mplayer has a lot of GUI frontends.
>>53961985
Yeah, it does now. The script for mpv never does a proper job, even if you increase the seconds.
>>53947754
Not OP but a lot of people dislike anti-ring because it might produce additional artifacts which defeats the point.
>>53965723
madVR can't do it's shitty 64x64x64 LUT on a Intel HD3000, even using DXVA2 scaling
Meanwhile mpv can do 256x256x128, sigmoidal light with spline36 and debanding on the same hardware
The only reason I use madVR it's because Kodi doesn't have a mpv fork, there's only DSPlayer
>>53966063
>Why does madshi keep inventing terms? It's the offset_bias setting allowing high-pass filter to be tweaked, which was in lumasharpen for years. He just now allows it to be changed by user in his version
It's not really madshi, it's how things have always been at doom9

You could manually fix them with Subtitle Edit, but that's a lotta fuckin around
>>53979117
I checked in MPC, they render correctly there, so I'm thinking it's an issue with mpv's configuration here.
>>53943151
This media player requires the user to install codecs to watch some videos ir is all built-in like VLC?
